Learning Karaf Cellar

<b>Build and implement a complete clustering solution for the Apache Karaf OSGi container</b><h2>About This Book</h2><ul> <li>Install and use Cellar as a provisioning clustering solution for Apache Karaf</li> <li>Extend Cellar usage to more than just provisioning by implementing distributed solutions</li> <li>Practical, step-by-step tutorial with real use cases and examples to help you seamlessly manage a cluster of Karaf Instances</li> </ul><h2>Who This Book Is For</h2><p>If you are new to Karaf and want to install and manage multiple Karaf instances by farming or clustering, then this book is for you. If you are a Java developer or a system administrator with basic knowledge of Karaf, you can use this book as a guide. Some background knowledge of OSGi and/or Karaf would be preferred but is not mandatory.</p><h2>What You Will Learn</h2><ul> <li>Explore the Apache Karaf OSGi container and its features</li> <li>Install and configure multiple Karaf containers</li> <li>Leverage Hazelcast using Cellar to provide clustering</li> <li>Create and manage multiple cluster groups</li> <li>Discover the different components of Cellar and how to administrate them</li> <li>Implement a fine-grained topology by filtering cluster events</li> <li>Use Cellar to implement remote communication between OSGi bundles (DOSGi)</li> <li>Use Cellar with Camel to implement a remote communication between Camel routes and a distributed cache</li> </ul><h2>In Detail</h2><p>Apache Karaf is a popular OSGi container that provides rich and broad features, and together with Cellar, you can easily manage farms of containers that provide synchronization between the instances of Karaf. In a real production system, users require a farm of containers to implement failover and scalability, as well as the tools required to provision the different members of a cluster. This book will help you understand the architecture, installation, and configuration of a cluster and teach you about different components and features to get the best out of a clustering solution using Apache Karaf Cellar.</p> <p>Learning Karaf Cellar starts with an introduction to some of the key features of Karaf. After a quick but detailed understanding of OSGi and Karaf, this book takes you through the concept of provisioning clusters and then covers what Cellar is and how to use it.</p>
